Anxiety and freaked out

[Joshuareins82]

I had an encounter with a sex worker about 1 month ago. For the last several weeks I've had swollen lymph nodes in my neck, I can't tell if any of my other lymph nodes are swollen. I'm not noticing anything swollen. I had an antibody test last week at 20 days which came back negative. I know that is early but I came across something online that said at 3 weeks tests are 75% accurate.

As for the risky encounter, it was with a female escort in a city with a high hiv rate. We engaged in deep kissing, covered oral on me, and fingering her. There were significant vaginal fluids everywhere and I remember at some point she mentioned she scratched me but I didn't notice any blood. Afterwards, I immediately got up and removed the condom and cleaned myself. I did clean the tip of my penis as well. I read that hiv can live outside the body for minutes so this is a concern since there were so many vaginal fluids present. After wiping myself I hopped in the shower.  I haven't notice a rash tied to ars and although I felt a little sick, I never had a high temperature. The neck lymph nodes are freaking me out!

Anyone have thoughts. I would think that I'm ok but my neck lymph nodes have been swollen for weeks and its extremely concerning.

1. HIV is not alive. It is either active or inactive.
2.As you were advised HIV is not able to infect outside it's host.

Thanks for the heads up. I read that HIV can live outside the body for a few minutes? Can it not be transmitted when this happens?

Vaginal fluids are not infectious outside the body, so your situation is no risk. See a doctor is your lymph nodes are bothering you. This forum cannot address your symptoms. All we can tell you is that they have nothing to do with HIV.
